Dunellen Domestic Violence Attorney

Domestic violence offenses arising out of Dunellen, New Jersey may be handled in Dunellen Municipal Court or Middlesex County Superior Court. Many acts of domestic violence are considered disorderly persons or petty disorderly persons offenses. These types of offenses will most likely be charged under a summons. A summons is a document ordering an individual to appear in court. A summons may be issued for disorderly person, petty disorderly person, and municipal ordinance violations.

Common disorderly person violations in domestic violence incidents include: Harassment (N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4), Criminal Mischief (N.J.S.A. 2C:17-3), and violations of restraining orders (Contempt N.J.S.A. 2C:29-9) when the individual has not also committed either a disorderly person, or indictable offense. If an individual, however, commits a disorderly person offense or an indictable offense along with being in violation of a restraining order, a contempt charge pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:29-9 will become a 4th degree indictable offense.
